Tibial Plateau Fracture

Well, after finaly recovering from my broken femur (not 100%) on Sunday while riding I had another incident and fractured my Tibial Plateau.. :| :| :|
I am really p'd off about it as I was just starting to get back into the swing of things again after not been able to ride for around 5 months.
Well anyway, no use crying about it.. So my question is has anybody had a similar injury and what was there recovery period like? My surgeon says luckly not to bad but going in for a CT scan tomorrow to get final verdict.

Thanks for the reply F John.. He has said to me that I might need to get my leg in plaster for 4 weeks which is not possible for me as I NEED TO DRIVE!! I am hoping to get away with wearing a knee brace or something. Luckily just a hairline fracture so I hope and pray not longer than 6 weeks.. It will kill me if I have to go watch the Motocross Grandprix here in South Africa with my leg in plaster!
